LONDON', June 29 -(Associated l'rcss ) I'.ritisli forces in I lan
ders and f rench forces further south hae apparently antici-
'pa led German drives against the Channel Ports and against Paris,
.' , re spectively. They struck sfrongl hard and unexpectedly and
have captured terrain which would probably, have been the start
' ing points of enemy attacks ukjii those objectives.
It is evident from the fighting of yesterday that it was the pur
pose of the. French attack to block the way to Paris through he
; Villcrs-Cotterets region. In this effort the French overwhelmed
. home strong enemy H)sitions. The French and therBritish attacks
,. were apparently so arranged as to fall practically simultaneously
against .the enemy fronts and to demoralize his plans for new offen
sive, movements.
V BATTLE ENDS QUICKLY
The British drove a surprise attack cast of the Nieppe forest
''..-r. Hurling back the startled Germans for an average of more than
'. fifteen hundred yards along a front of more than three miles in
length, they attained their every objective and made some most im
. portanf improvements in their positions. Two German divisions
' were severely punished in this attack while the British losses are
,. reported to have been light for the battle was practically over be
r fore the enemy was able to organize his defense. It started at six
' o'clock yesterday morning after only a short bombardment.
' :. In the Lye salient, east of the N ieppe forest, the British made
an advance along a three and a half mile front, throwing the (ier
mans back, for a mile.
' i . . Southwest of Merris, on the northern end 'of.'thts advance, the
Australians stormed and captured a strong enemy position, taking
three hundred prisoners and capturing six machine guns.
FRENCH GAIN TERRAIN
V ' ' Simultaneously, on the new Mame salient, the French struck
. . southwest of Soissons along a front of four and a half miles. Ground
. v . was-gained all along this front, the German line being penetrated
; . " 'at one point to a depth of a mile and a quarter.
A thousand and sixty Germans were captured and hcjivy casual
t ' , 'M wer inflicted by the poilus.
Berlin, reporting on these attacks last night, said in an official
. '; communique that the Germans w ere busily engaged attempting tc
repulse vigorous allied attacks north of the Lys and south of the
Aisne. An earlier official statement from Berlin said that artillery
ing had increased to a great intensity between Bailleul and Bethune
' : in the Lys salient ami south of the Aisne, wheu there were isolated
: infantry engagements.
BATTLES IN AIR
, f ( j In the air fighting the British continue to maintain the uppei
.', i' t: tand. . Yesterday tw enty German planes w ere destroyed and nine
otners were driven iiown iack
The British loss amounted to fourteen machines.

ROME, June 2f-iisooi'ated! Treaa)
The eontinoed flepreckitlotv of Italian
money in foreign markets,' despite; the
establishment bf itie government of the
National Institute of Exchange early
tliis year for tba purpose of reducing
speculation fn lirn, hat led to tba pro.
posal that Italy 'a allies help. her. by.
arbitrarily fixing the rates of exchange,'
as it Is claimed was done with Franca..
As Italy must Import large quantifies
of war materials In order to keep: in
the fight andM she must pay not only
high current prices but $1.60 of her
money fox every dollar of jnaterial
she buys, it is pointed out that she it
carrying more than her share of the war
burden. ,
Government's Efforts
Hi nee the establishment of the con
trol by the government of the exchange,
the' prioe a dollar brings in Italy hi
creased from 8.70 lire to 9.00; five )iri
being jiar value existing before the
war. 'I' ue government also forbad the
buying outside of Italy of drygooda and
like articles by private "companies, and
since then the price of all such nec
sities in Italy has increased far beyond
the proportions of the exchange. 'A
yard of wool cloth that sold a year age
fur twenty lire is now priced at sixty
or more fire, if it my be bad at any
price. The price of food produced it
Italy ias also increased to meet thet'
advanres. ' Vegetables are almost' a
tear as meat, and meat laat sold a eat
ago for three lire the pound now eell
for seven lire.
The whole question of the exchange

Undorifir'med reports1 of the
Bofshevist government at Mos

fhese reports said that the over-
hrow had been brought about by
Corniloff, assisted by Kaledines
Ind that they were supported by
jerman troops'. Lenine and Trot
ky were reported to have fle"d to
he coast. Ft was said that the
eaders of this revolution had
roclaimcd the restoration of the
monarchy with the Grand Duki

vinning successes was
given tn
n .article published in thev Cra

the scene of successes in Sibe
ia and said that the supporters
if Granlc Duke Nicholas had
verthfown the Siberian Soviets
it Irkutsk, Blagoviestchenk and
Khaborovsk.
PLANS DISTURBED
These successes Were explain
ed from "Moscow in a way that 1
tended to disprove German sup-
Hrt for the. revolt. They were
iescribed as a Crecho-Slovak out
)reak and the despatch said that
t had stopped traffic oft the Sibe
Han railroad thereby seribusly ih
erfering with German plans 40

ikoff, Octoberist, who had arriv

Kerensky is the man of the fu

SECRET PACT
One of the most startling re
Kirts was that Germany and the
iolsheviki had entered tiptm a
ecret treaty or convention
vhereby they agreed to cooper
ate in crushing the ambitions of
the Polish Nationalists and the
I'olsheviki pledged themselves to
recognize the hegemony of Ger
many and Austria and to assist
them against the former Allies of
